Chiefs sign kicker Harrison Butker to 5-year contract extension

The Kansas City Chiefs announced today that they have signed kicker Harrison Butker to a five-year contract extension. The deal is worth a total of $20.3 million over those five years and makes him the NFL’s highest-paid kicker, edging out the New Orleans Saints’ Will Lutz.

Butker has been extraordinarily consistent since the Chiefs signed him off the Carolina Panthers practice squad during the 2017 season. He’s made 93-of-97 extra points over the past two seasons with the Chiefs. He’s also made 62-of-69 field goals since joining the team, including an NFL-high 42 attempts in 2017.

“Thanks to the organization for their belief in me and thanks to all of Chiefs Kingdom for the love,” Butker wrote. “Excited to be a part of this team for the next six years.”

This deal gives them some stability at the position that they haven’t quite had since Ryan Succop signed a similar long-term extension years ago.

The Chiefs continue to reward some of their most consistent and solid contributors with contract extensions. Butker’s extension follows a one-year deal given to right tackle Mitchell Schwartz just one day ago. Maybe an extension for defensive tackle Chris Jones is in the works?
